Vaccines aren’t designed to prevent transmission. They are designed to keep you alive if you get the fucking thing.
Yeah but someone on Fox said otherwise...Vaccines aren’t designed to prevent transmission. They are designed to keep you alive if you get the fucking thing.
Data from UK’s vaccine rollout reveals just one dose of the Oxford vaccine or Pfizer vaccine cuts transmission by two thirds in all age groups.
Exclusive: The Covid vaccines data that can pave way to freedom
First 'real world' figures show Oxford and Pfizer jabs cut two thirds of infections and transmissionst.co
The hospital I worked at was on it's knees during lockdown. 450 ish out off 600 ish beds had a covid positive patient at one point which I thought was bonkers, probably more relevant, all 20 odd intensive care beds were positive for a long time. Now it floats around 50 and zero intensive care for a while now. So I guess the vaccines worked. Just a mad situation
Agree on masks though! Finally got to stop wearing one today (in office and corridors - wards still required)
Seems the Pfizer Vaccine has some really good numbers on stopping transmission. Again all coming from Israel, where data is being released daily.
Also it seems whoever advised our Government on delaying the 2nd dose, even though Pfizer said 3 weeks between doses, has got it spot on.
The NHS has been on it's knees every winter for years (due in no small part to respiratory illness - Winter 2016 particularly stands out) The UK population has risen nearly 15% since 1997 and investment has been nowhere close to optimal. What is the current waiting list ?
Top digging sir.Hindsight and all that

Tbh honest I had forgotten about those as that was, in Covid dating 15 years ago... but as you can see it was reducing transmission rather than stopping. I believe as the vaccines rolled out the info given was more at the it protects you rather than it stops it. Certainly by the time I was vaccinated that was the public health message.
Would the reduction in transmission not just be a by product of it's suppression of symptoms? By helping people combat the virus and it's effects you've got less viral load, less people coughing as badly and so you're reducing the volume of virus than an infected person spreads about.
Depends on the op. Some have letters going back 2 years. I'd say the worse field as a whole is dermatology
I could volunteer someone..?as we’ve never found a sample of people willing to jump out of one without one to test it.
Having Covid whilst pregnant (like flu) is worse for your foetus than the vaccine. So you have the vaccine to minimise risk (not eliminate).
There’s also no evidence it is harmful for pregnant/breastfeeding, there’s just no evidence it isn’t. Same as there’s no trial evidence parachutes work as we’ve never found a sample of people willing to jump out of one without one to test it.
It literally says “absence of data”.

I made no reference to what politicians said to people.Erm, yeah ... it's the bit where they encourage pregnant and breastfeeding women to get the vaccine and then a while
later take a U-turn.
Pregnant women urged to get COVID-19 vaccine following new UK safety data
Catching COVID-19 carries far higher risk than having the vaccine and only 22% of women who gave birth in August were vaccinated.www.gov.uk
I made no reference to what politicians said to people.
Just said there is no evidence it is bad for you. And common sense tells you it isn’t, even without a study same as parachutes
It’s promoted because influenza messes up pregnant ladies and their foetus. It’s also pretty bad for neonates.I know you didn't.
I personally find it concerning how the vaccine is promoted to this cohort while at the same time a document exists ( I stand to be corrected ) that says ' sufficient reassurance of safe use of the vaccine in pregnant women cannot be provided at the present time '.
Maybe there is no evidence because there is a lack of extensive clinical trials - therefore emergency use ? This is all very well if there is informed consent but that's just my supposition.
